Hogsmeade Valentine's Spectacular! Friday, the 14th
Now, Holly was definitely not someone who enjoyed the frills and lace of Valentine's Day. Usually, she hated it, it was in the top five list of things she hated, but this year? She felt like celebrating. It had been a damn good year, and Holly was taking every opportunity to showcase the good bloody mood she'd been in. Sure, there had been its blips (McCormack owed her quite some bit), and each moment made her appreciate each and every day.

But that was the sort of sappy stuff she and her husband didn't say, so that was why she had insisted that their visit to Hogsmeade tonight was to crack jokes and judge the couples that took this holiday way too seriously.

It was turning out to not be as horrendous as one may have thought. Hogsmeade was a village on display, each store front lit up with lights, the street lamps giving off sprays of glitter and confetti as couples walked past. The different food places had set up heating spells around outside tables and counters, the aroma completely filling her every sense. The lake had turned into a beautiful ice rink, while a magical ferris wheel lit up the sky. The village had always amazed her, knowing that it was the only place in the country wizards and witches could be completely at ease with their magic outside of Hogwarts.

"Good thing they didn't let the kiddies out," Holly said, eyes catching sight of the castle in the distance. "They'd ruin the romance."

- Hogsmeade is open to all! The village streets are sort of like a Valentine's fair, hosted by Madam Puddifoot's (so you know there's some cheesy stuff).
- For some ADDED FUN, a little trickster has laced the chocolate supply with a truth serum. The amount of chocolate your character ingests, the more truthful/the longer they are under its spell. Soo...that could lead to some fun, y/y? >:D
- ALSO, for players on non British Isles teams, this is the last weekend to be home because practice for the WC starts after Valentine's Day! So get those feels out because you're shipping out!

Savannah could live without all the bells and whistles that came along with being married – hell, she had done it before – but she needed to be married in front of her friends and family, and she needed to make it count this time. She didn’t want them to rush into things like they had last time, when they were on a time schedule and there were laws against her moving out of the country because of her bloodline. The man standing before her made her do some pretty out of character things, like spontaneously get married and let her feelings get the better of her when she was usually so levelheaded about things. If she was on the outside of her own life looking in, this would probably be the point where she would yell about all the reasons why she shouldn’t have said yes. There were definitely reasons – good reasons, too. But she had spent the last 6 months with him, and she had seen just how much he had changed. She had seen how much he had grown as a person; as a man.

Their first marriage seemed like a lifetime ago. They had both been different people back then, changed by time and circumstance. The universe seemed to have some sort of plan for the two of them, seeing how they had ended up back in each other’s arms against all odds. She had always loved him, and she could see it in his eyes, and feel it in his touch just how much he loved her. He had loved her back then too – she was sure of it, despite everything - but it wasn’t the same. This was stronger. It was pure.

Wiping at her face again with her other hand, she sniffed as he explained that the ring had belonged to his grandmother. Standing with him that day at Falcon’s stadium made it obvious just how much he admired the woman, so to be wearing her ring her ring was a big deal.

“It is perfect,” she agreed, moving her hands to place them on either side of his face, staring into those unbelievably blue eyes. “I love it. And I love you…” Her hands slid down so that her fingertips were pressing against his jaw as she leaned in, kissing him once – twice – three times for good measure before she pulled away to look up at him, a smile back on her face. Her line of vision fell away from those diamond eyes to the actual glimmering stones that were on her finger.

“God, I could stare at this for days. It’s even prettier than you, and that’s no easy feat,” she said with another grin, her arms wrapping around his neck. “I can honestly say this has been the Valentine’s Day ever, bar none.”
